You are forced by someone to choose between eating one of your children alive, to save the other one, or, failing to obey, without question, the person forcing you to obey, without question, will eat your children alive first, and then do whatever that person cares to do to you afterward.
The answer for me is easy. I will not eat a child to save the rest. I will allow God to work justice in His way and in His timing.
Joe, hatred is murder:
1 John 3:15 KJV
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
I am not trying to change your book. And it is my bad that I start talking about the necessity of the device being a preclusion to the fact that I hold that people are evil.
I have had hate in my heart. Sometimes I still do and I have to confess it and resist it.
I understand that you are speaking of extremes when talking about some of the human race. My point is, that it is only by the grace of God that I am not one of them.
One can take the topic of sexual addiction and understand that certain extremes become necessary to highten certain feelings.
Murder csn be the same for a murderer. Sheer pleasure can be experienced by some as they murder.
My point is that the reason the immobilization device is such an excellent idea is that one can protect themselves without killing or harming the other party. So that one does not become that which they abhore...a killer.
I have recently found this link and it causes me to think that perhaps I have not understood the Revolutionary War in the frame of mind that the very simple among us who will not kill another human because they are human:

Perhaps we are a bloody society because our birth was thru blood?
Perhaps one should never kill if one really believes the other party might end up in hell. Perhaps one would trade one's own life to give that other person the chance to find forgiveness and eternal life in Jesus.
Perhaps it is evil that we would choose our own life over anothers?
